SOMERSET, N.J. – North Carolina Central was voted fifth in the 2025 Northeast Conference Women's Golf Preseason Coaches Poll. The Eagles received a first-place vote.

The Eagles are coming off an eighth-place finish in the 2024 Northeast Conference Championship Tournament. They finished better than predicted – the Eagles were 10^th in last year's preseason poll.

Five golfers are back including senior Trinity Ahing, who tied for sixth in the individual standings of the conference championship tournament last year. Ahing headlines a veteran nucleus featuring Aubree Clements, Josefina Rendo, Sidney Renville and Cailynn Winford.

Mya Smith joins the Eagles' program as a freshman. Former NCCU men's golfer Kendall Wallace enters his first spring season as head coach.
